STHS Forum

Is there a way to edit unique player IDs in the sim? Every time I delete a player who's retired or has left the NHL, when I add a new rookie, he takes the player's ID and his past stats (when I check on the web portal)

This is very frustrating and in a few years it seems that all the players stats on the portal will be messed up.

I'm sure there's a simple way to give everyone a permanent ID (I've kept a list of retired player's IDs) I just need a way to edit them and upload them back into the simulator.

When I "Output Ratings CSV" with the sim, it has the ID numbers....but I can't import that same file after if I edit the IDs.

The ratings file that I used doesn't have a column with player IDs, but like I said, when I output it, it does for some reason. Is it as simple as cutting and pasting that column into my ratings file?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

What version of the STHS do you run? Technically, players UniqueID number should increment by 1 each time you create a new player. If the number is incorrect right now, you can try the "Reset Players Unique ID" command to fix the issue.
